Nature by numbers

Teaching mathematics in mathematics education, I now and then have lectures on the mathematics found in nature. I rather like this subject and enjoy finding new ways of attacking the problems in there. I must say, that I don’t think I have seen a nicer illustrations of the phenomena og Fibonacci numbers and golden sections, than can be found in the video below. It has been circulated from YouTube for some time and I hope you will enjoy it too.

My guess is, it serves nicely as a kind of repetition of the concepts for students already familiar with them.

The Cheap Researcher

I don't know if I qualify as a researcher (actually, I know I don't), but at least I WORK as a researcher within higher education. I am a lecturer in mathematics in Norwegian teacher education. This blog will show some of the thoughts, software products, scientific tidbits and ramblings I encounter in this area of work. I hope you leave some comments in the... comments field.
